Still one of the best live recordings I have ever seen. Also, whoever mic'd this set, especially the drums, was right on the money.

That bassist is an absolute fox!

Corgan is a really underated guitarist. I love his signatue noise solos haha theyre awesome.

Melissa was the best bassist the pumpkins had. She brought a real punchy, aggressive sound to this song.

A live performance that DOESN'T suck! The Smashing Pumpkins are among the few bands that can actually pull that off.

Man! I love this version! It gets me so psyched! Such a great song, such a great band!

One of the deepest rock grooves of the 90's: The opening sequence of Cherub Rock

This band is so good. Privileged to share this epic stuff.

What a show!

It's was called l'Artiste du mois on Musiqueplus...a different band every month. Good Lord, all the memories...

Melissa Auf De Maur, she was the bassist for Hole.

The Smashing Pumpkins were just jaw dropping..the tightest band I've ever seen. I saw their 2nd show at Cabaret Metro opening for Jane's Addiction. Beautiful. We were all envious of their connections with Shanahan...but couldn't deny their talent. oh yeah...billy had hair then, LOL!

James please come back it's not The Smashing Pumpkins without you. D'arcy please tour with SP again!

a legendary song, probably the best they have written

this song is glorious, lifts the soul, incredible!

Stunning performance.

great preformance with or without D'arcy

Unbelievable,that solo is so awesome. I wish I could play like that. And too bad they are gone, as in this formation.

Glad these guys are back!!!

Sweating!..Just watching!!!

Such a tasty riff

Their happy fighting rock songs really rock.

jimmy is a god damn fucking bad ass fast ass drummer!!!!!!!

bold as love

Cherub Rock joyness!!

Glad I saw their first show, then. They were one of the advantages of living in Chicago.

BADASS DRUMMER

TEAR IT UP BILLY.!!!!!!!!

Holy SHIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIITZLES! The POWER!

3:38 = Billy goes Super Saiyan FUCKING EPIC performance.

これや！ It is this!!!

Alternative Rock died around 1997, and Mainstream Rock died around 2001 with Korn and Linkin Park. Music today just isn't the same.

Hell yes!

So weird to see Billy playing this on a Gibby and not a Strat. Love it

yea buddy!

Video editors hold out until 4:10 to give a Melissa Auf Der Maur close-up face shot. Oh baby, but when it comes it's well worth the wait. That chick's face just smolders with hotness. From head to toe, Ripping Rock Goddess. She's the whole package. Hyper aware intellect melded with sophisticated style.

@dabidfelix It's Melissa Auf der Maur...

Cherub Rock was my Safe Word🤐

nickleus1977 - They're Canadian, they only like Celine Dion and the Barenaked Ladies. My favorite song on the album and a great performance there.

ha, nice one dude

best live version of this song ive found! (did i already say that?)

They just kicked this song's ass hard.

@nickleus1977 It's at a TV station, They are told not to trash or anything cause otherwise they are thrown out...

Saw Pumpkins for free at Roseland Ballroom NYC on Siamese Dream tour. 2 hours of trancelike throbbing Iha distortion & unintelligible Corrigan growlings. Mesmerizing. You felt like you were entranced in murky ritual. Too bad Auf Der Mar wasn't on bass yet. Slinky sophisticate with impeccable style.

James Iha looks so fucking stoned in this video.

2011 and this song is STILL the shit.

@justinorville So true, man - this is only my opinion, but he's such an awesome guitarist and lyricist; I grew up with him and the Pumpkins and I can't imagine not having such awesome music during my teen-angst (and now adult angst) years.

i like tuhtles

After SNL, best Cherub Rock live

bold as a chrome dome

for the last 13 years

don't cry, our taste in music still sells, who really gives a flying f**k if they make the top 50 or not? hang in there, the band of your dreams is just around the corner. (probably literally)

wow i like this version better. its sounds more upbeat than the original song

wtf! the people were just STANDING there. i would be going fricking crazy!

Cherub rock is my safe word😂

billy corgan can probably strum with his chrome dome hes cool

@nickleus1977 no doubt!

Auf De Mer!

@Jowea just d'arcy as you already got james!

I'm pretty sure that's Melissa Auf der Maur playing bass in this video.

As far as anyone knows, she's still living on her farm.

Stingin'... SP are kings :)

FUCK! I LOVE THIS!!!!!! I want that honey yeah!

who wants oohhhneeeee??? lol he says it so epically its cool.

Hey cobain6, wasn't aware of that. I guess I aint the first person to think so. BTW, I always thought Lucy Lui did the solo on this one. New respect to Billy.

Wow, Voldemort rocks

a good live rendition of this song...still have yet to see an electric live set that beats the acoustic am live from 93 the guitar parts on this one really kick ass, but billy just doesnt sing it like he used to

It'd never be the same without d'arcy! oh well.. SMASHING PUMPKINS FOREVER!!!

In this clip James looks like Lucy Lui on a bad day.

@newyrat Ya Billy does look a lot like Voldemort as great as he is he needs hair. He had it in his early days with the band.

Did Corgan ditch the Big Muff pedal!????

hes a chrome dome

why is corgan being so greedy? EMI wont let us hear the studio version because apparently the 40 bucks he's making a month on itunes must be adversely impacted by that.

Amazing performance. That audience deserves to be locked up in a cell with nothing but Justin Bieber to listen to for a year.

i wonder what the new shits gonna sound like. The only original band members are Billy and the drummer, i wonder what James Ihas deal is.

is billy corgan using a multi efx? whatis it? thanks

lol, yea he does... lmao

poor billy laying his heart on the stage, and the audience just sits there, pisses me off

Post-heroin Jimmy is SUCH a beast.

is that the bass player from Hole?

@nickleus1977 It's cause they're Canadians?

Me too. I personally think his voice takes a turn for the worse after Mellon Collie.

Haha.

who is on bass ? i don't think its Ginger

Most of everything off of Gish is standard. Most of Simese Dream is standard except Mayo and Geek. Most of MCIS is step down, tho. Cherub is orignially standard.

They play everything half a step down don't they? The only one I'm aware of that's different is Porcelina.

Last SP show I saw sucked bad...Crowd was terrible and it seemed like BC hated all the people there as much as I did. Mohegan Sun Casino, CT. Lots of free tix to non-fans, but all the other shows I've seen kicked ass

Love the band, but have been to 2 shows that were weak as hell.....I would trade both of those concerts to be in this crowd

Well, one could make the arguement that MAdM is a ginger

give me james and d'arcy and maybe I'd care

Talk about killing a performance. If you dont air drum or air something to this song, check your pulse you are prob dead!

Okay I'm sorry, but really... If you're going to post, please use complete sentences, please? Thanks! n_n

Bias

The White Stripes were the last decent rock band, for me. Since then, the majority of bands seem to have resided in the indie-pop scene (the likes of Killers, Franz Ferdinand...even Kings of Leon succumbed!), which I just can't stand. It's as if the current generation somehow completely misinterpreted the 90s. Where's the next Tool, Deftones, Pumpkins, Soundgarden, or Radiohead going to come from? I just can't see that sort of music happening again. Post/Math Rock is the last bastion of hope.

are you trying to hang s**t on your older brother's favourite music?

Incindiary

In my opinion the Foo Fighters lost their way after There Is Nothing Left To Lose (which I think was around 2000-2001); since then they've had more of a pop-rock sound and their songs are a bit too samey and boring for me. Whereas the White Stripes lasted a few good years beyond that.

Real rock bands? So Radiohead is not a real band then. There are plenty of great rock bands out there now.

billy needs a wig

that crowd sucks!
